Research direction

The placeholder type field's allowed values are defined in the ARB schema file in this repository; find the enum there and compare it with the field's description, which mentions Object. Decide whether to add Object to the enum or reword the description, and confirm with a maintainer which option they prefer. Done means the schema and its description agree, and a placeholder typed as Object no longer triggers a validation warning in VS Code.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I noticed today, when setting up translations for a Flutter Project, that VS Code always gave me a warning, when defining the type of a placeholder as an Object.

I looked at the schema to see if i missed anything but it turns out, for the type-field in placeholders, Object does not seem to be a currently available valid value, even though the description mentions it.

Either the Object-type should be added to the list of valid types, or the comment should be amended.

FWIW, the translation-generator still works fine, it's just the IDE that shows an error. So a fairly low impact issue.
